against whom he entertained some
petty spite. Aiming himself with a
double barreled shot gun, he went In
search OF the men whose lives he had
threatened. Meeting Aldridge, who
had been for armed, the latter took the
gun from him, whereupon Williams
drew a revolver and shot AIdridge twice
killing him instantly. Williams was

Rather MiXed.i

Mrs. Roberts, OF Pettus, who is now
here for treatment OF her arm which
was wounded when her husband killed
O'Leary, will have her arm amputated
today, ss the gangrene Is assuming
alarming proportions.
Friends of the lady claim that an in
justice has been done her by the state
ment that she was talking to O'Leary
when her husband shot both of them.
when as a matter OF fact the wound in
her arm was done by an accidental ex-
plosiOn of pistol. when she and her
husband were scuffling some time prior
to the murder, and she was In bed with
n lady friend when the killing occurred
Roberts friends, however, say that the
facts reported are substantially correct,
aud that the trial will develop some ex-
traordinary evidence and show justifi
cation for the killing.

bring on that battle, and he was the last
OF the captains to furl his cOlOrs and
pass over the river into the great here
